Fangone Forest boss and singer Alien Skin criticizes the gov’t for failing to recognize and reward local artists through national music awards
However, in an exclusive interview with Stickman Musudan, the Fangone Forest singer questioned why a country like Uganda does not have a national platform to honor outstanding musicians who contribute to the entertainment industry.
The government’s lack of support has made it difficult for artists to feel valued in their own country. He accused authorities of prioritizing other sectors, particularly sports, while neglecting the creative industry.

“This country has no national awards. There are no rewarding systems to motivate artists who excel above others. Music is not really considered a big deal by the government; artists are not counted. We are actually being sabotaged instead,” he added.
“That’s why when I’m called to those campaigns, I ask why they don’t take football players or boxers instead—they are recognized and paid well by the government,” he added.
Alien Skin’s remarks have reignited debate about the government’s commitment to promoting the arts, with many in the entertainment industry calling for renewed efforts to establish a national award system that celebrates Ugandan talent.
In conclusion, we call upon the government of Uganda to support his idea and recognize the musicians.
